Thin Lizzy - The Boys are Back in Town - How to play on guitar - tutorial - Rock

[lastresortallday]

this guy is an awsome teacher.....but he only teaches a peice of a song...never the full version.........

[mat0822]

thumbs up if u f***ng love this guy

[boldstandard]

How is he playing both solos together at te beginning? Overdub?

[Glasscherf]

@boldstandard Octave pedal

[Feedbackboy1]

....sorry, but the turnaround chord is E not D (its V chord in E)

[Geezermo]

@Feedbackboy1 You are totally right dude, I was about to let him know the same thing but you already had.

[deadmanprodinc]

Curious why tune down 1/2 step rather than just playing the same chords 1/2 step down? Great old song to know and learn and fantastic instruction by the way Marty.

[Geezermo]

@deadmanprodincIt's not that simple,most of the times songs should be played using the original frets no matter what tuning you are using,that is because the open chords,such as the A one here won't sound really powerful and you will find trouble trying to reach certain positions that require an open string,with solos,etcAnother reason is,in this particular song,as Feedbackboy stated in comment above,if you actually want to play the Echord using the 6thstring you won't be able to

[Geezermo]

@Geezermo because it will actually be Eb

[izzyoatman]

best online teacher :-]

[peterhbyrne]

Marty rocks! what a cool dude. doesn''t have to share his knowledge but he does. what kind of pickups i wonder? sounds great

[scottishguitarguy]

Cheers! Forgot to learn this for a band practice today so just managed to get it down in the nick of time thanks to your lesson.

[etherknight9]

That was a great lesson. Thank you Marty!

[fasted1234rnr]

[ABCGUITAR]

[metalhead9167]

@9:04 is for all you haters xP

[raybabbit]

great lessons, Marty, perfect for my current level. Thanks for posting this as a freebie.

[MrGingerpubes96]

Can you PLEASE do a lesson on waiting for an alibi?

[burg0110]

Would this sound better played on a semi-hollow or a tele?

[burg0110]

I just heard this song and thought "I've gotta get on youtube and find a way to beg Marty to put out a lesson on this". Good thing I checked first - it's the first bloody search result.

You win again, Schwartz!

[brandinator22]

@OEThinLizzy

[alleyjagger]

[CieranPhillipsNZ]

Whats the name of that guitar? Thinking about getting one of those other than a Les Paul.

[cooke86]

southern rock are you fucking kidding me? gotta think back in the 70's this was rock! i got nothing against southern rock i like southern rock but c'mon man!

[eurosparky1]

hey marty any chance you can do cowboy song acoustic by lizzy you rock man ive learnt so much off you thanks man

[dreadlockddamnation]

@sasukeuchiha9724 yea it definitely is I just learned it on an acoustic about five minutes ago from this video but I reccomend using an older guitar if you have one cause they have a different sound than the newer acoustics for example I have about a 60 year old harmony, it's a family heirloom and it sounds great for this song but I tried it on a more recently made Lyon acoustic and it didn't have the 60s/70s/80s classic rock feel to it

[HeavyIronMetalMaiden]

Thin Lizzy fucking owns

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@HeavyIronMetalMaiden agrred, R.I.P Phil and gary. 

[LosLurvos]

marty is really an awsome teacher, but he gotta work on his rock tone

[DemonCleaner31]

I LOVE YOU GOD BLESS YOU

[MrClint066]

my dad fucking loves this song

[Rorschachxx1985]

hey marty is this the whole song?

[Rorschachxx1985]

bit confusing on the palm muting riff not sure if you were getting muddled up but yh i just found confusing i dont u play on an e thret at all to my understanding but i think i got what u meant

[BarvyStudios]

Hey Marty, it's tuned 1/2 step down, so all the chords you are saying are 1/2 step too high. i know that it easy that way, but its the wrong chords. :)

[sockprod]

Marty your videos are awesome. You always have that note than seems to elude me. This time it was the D7 minor. It seemed no matter what I tried I was one octave off. Thanks.

[PageyLedZep]

I love you marty!!!! You're the best! I've learnt sooo much from you....

[SkoolOfRock123]

@amparosavickas41 What are u talkin about

[SkoolOfRock123]

Thumbs up for a lesson on Interstate love song by STP

[insanee1231]

hey marty can you show how to tune 1/2 step down plz

[BarvyStudios]

@insanee1231

1st string: D#

2nd string: A#

3rd string: F#

4th string: C#

5th string: G#

6th string: D#

[IrishH3ro]

@BarvyStudios is that the same as Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb?

[voodooblueskid]

@IrishH3ro yes

[MrTheCommander]

@IrishH3ro Most definitely!



[ciaranofficialmusic]

da f sharp power chord da da !! lol

[hvahpystrwrstrail]

Good job man, but when you detune, the chords aren't the same. Your "A Power Chord" is really an Ab. It's kinda like counting...

Good job though!

[emusylate]

Hey Marty, do you think you could do a quick lesson on how to tuen 1/2 step down? I don't know how to tell how much is too much (using a regular tuner). I would also expect I'm not the only person who doesn't know.

[gaffney93]

@emusylate does it not have a flat button? just press that and it should be fine

[gaffney93]

@emusylate does it not have a flat button? just press that once and it should be fine

[MouldyPower]

yes please do whiskey in the jar

[0Discoverer]

Thanks man. Like how you sing the Chords. ;).

Seriously: learned it quick.

[kakabulle243]

what kind amp do you own

[asian421]

Marty? Can you teach your ending solo for this video?

[ryanjacko1]

is that some grey hair im starting to see on your beard? xD

[Duckcedes]

how do you do the bridege for the song?

[cytyson1]

Marty, you rock. Your videos have helped me out alot and i would just like to say thank you. so thanl you. :)

[cytyson1]

@cytyson1 *Thank

[tubular12344]

I start to hate you around 10:50!

j/k thanks for the help marty! you da man!

[ninjatuna6]

can you do paralizer by finger eleven

[koko4857]

I can not figure out how to tune it 1 / 2 down

[Theeaudienceofone]

@koko4857 put a capo on the first fret and do a standard tuning and take off the capo

[ultsmackdown]

@koko4857

the best is to buy an electronic tuner , then set it down one step flat it has a "b" symbol on the tuner

so you have Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb

[darthj3d]

could i get the sae sound with capo on 1st?

[shollinshead95]

@darthj3d sadly... no. with a capo you are tuning it UP a 1/2 step instead of DOWN a 1/2 step

[66loarca]

teach how to play black dog by led zepplin

[ZipTumbleFast]

I've always loved this song and loved it LOUD. So as soon as I learned it from you, I cranked the speaker and got a first. The lovely young couple next door came over and asked their 40-something neighbor to turn it down!! haha.

[sasukeuchiha9724]

is this possible on an acoustic?

[jhawsandfender]

@sasukeuchiha9724 Listen, not trying to sound like a jerk or anything, but EVERYTHING that can be played on ELECTRIC guitar can be played on ACOUSTIC guitar. THEY'RE THE SAME FUCKING INSTRUMENT!!!! You come off as a total fucking noob by asking that. Sorry to seem like an asshole, but I can't fucking stand that question.

[sasukeuchiha9724]

@jhawsandfender why so angry? lol

[chrisbombay]

Wow thanks for the great lesson Marty please keep them up. I Learned this in 30 minutes and I am playing like a pro. Because of you I keep on playing guitar everyday so that I hopefully become as good as you thanks again :)

[moulinyan]

marty :( you teach us one thing and play enough, in the second part of the video on both the melodies, you tell us it's twice on the 7th A but you end up playing it only once.. same with the higher pitched one, say one thing but play it differently.. =[

[Sugarfreepimpintea]

Marty you rock my face. I wanna go to a bar with you Dx

[zakross1987]

Martry,

Great lesson. Please consider a lesson for "It Girl" by Betty. It has a very tricky guitar piece (double picking or something?)

[boysfrommidschool]

[djsjrrr]

[moulinyan]

i just love how at 06:35 marty bursts into the next segment and then on the repeat he slows in right down in a way that almost allows us to learn it ourselves in one look. i love how good at guitar he is and i love how and what he teaches :)

[TheMckayzer]
